Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention[0001]
- The present invention relates to a water and weather proof textile fabric and, more particularly to such a textile fabric that is suitable for use to make luggage, bags, and shoes.[0002]
- 2. Description of the Related Art[0003]
- For the advantages of light weight and comfort touch, textile fabric is intensively used to make luggage, sports bags, backpacks, and shoes. The structural strength of a textile fabric is determined subject to the quality of the base fabric material, the diameter of the threads, the thread count, and the weaving method. Well control of these factors makes the textile fabric strong enough, preventing an excessive extension under a load. Conventionally, a piece of textile product is made by directly cutting a cloth of fabric subject to a predetermined pattern and then making the cut piece of fabric into the finished product by stitching. A textile product made according to this method is not highly acceptable to consumers because it cannot protect the user against water and strong wind. In order to improve this drawback, a back coating layer may be coated on the back side of the fabric, i.e., to form a thin layer of polymeric substance on the fabric, or to coat the fabric with a layer of synthetic material. The back coating layer protects against water, reinforces the strength of the fabric, and gives a comfort touch. If to make the product elastic (calenderable), the polymeric coating must be elastic, i.e., stretchable. This kind of polymeric coating can be prepared from a polymeric material of monomer type. Normally, copolymers of different types of monomers are synthesized to provide the desired properties. Further, softener may be added to enhance the softness and flexibility of the polymeric material.[0004]
- Among polymers, the following materials are commonly used for making the aforesaid back coating layer: PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and its copolymers, polyacrylate and its copolymers, PA (polyamide), synthetic rubber and its copolymers, and silicon rubber. During evaporation of solvent in the system, polymeric material dissolved or dispersed in organic solvent forms a continuous film of polymers. Alternatively, the polymeric material can be applied to the fabric as water dispersion element. When water evaporated from dispersion element, a continuous polymeric film is formed on the fabric. If thermoplastic polymer is used, it can be applied to the fabric when melted.[0005]
- According to conventional technology, PVC is commonly used for making a back coating on a fabric. However; because PVC generates dioxin and other toxic gasses when burnt, it is harmful to the environment and human beings. Therefore, the use of PVC to make a back coating on a fabric is gradually prohibited. Further, PVC material is relatively heavy, not suitable for making luggage, bags, and shoes of light weight.[0006]
- PE (polyethylene), EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymer), or the mixture of PE and EVA may be used for making a back coating for fabric. However, these materials have the properties of plastics, i.e., the drawbacks of high hardness and rigidity. A fabric coated with a back coating of one of these materials is less flexible, and tends to wrinkle. Therefore, the aforesaid materials are not commonly used fabric materials for making luggage, bags, and shoes.[0007]
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a textile fabric of low pollutant, high softness and elasticity, and good waterproof property.[0008]
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a textile fabric, which is soft, elastic, and water proof, and practical for use to make luggage, bags, and shoes.[0009]
- According to the present invention, the textile fabric comprises a fabric base layer and a back coating layer. The fabric base layer is made from nylon or polyester, having a front side and a back side. The back coating layer has a bonding side bonded to the back side of the fabric base layer, and a back body side. The back coating layer is prepared from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PS (polystyrene), EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), processing oil, plastics, and additives subject to a predetermined formula.[0010]
- A bonding layer may be selectively used and bonded between the fabric base layer and the back coating layer. The bonding layer has a first side bonded to the back side of the fabric base layer, and a second side bonded to the bonding side of the back coating layer. Preferably, the bonding layer is prepared from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), viscosity index improver, additives, and toluene.[0011]
- Comparing to conventional methods, the invention uses TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PS (polystyrene) and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) to substitute for polyvinyl chloride, reducing possible pollution to environment. Further, the back coating layer prepared from the aforesaid materials is soft and elastic, not easy to wrinkle, and more particularly, water proof. When using the textile fabric to make luggage, bags, shoes, etc., either the fabric base layer or the back coating layer can be exposed to the outside.[0012]
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a textile fabric constructed according to the present invention.[0013]
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the textile fabric fabrication flow according to the present invention.[0014]
- FIGS. 3A and 3B are schematic drawings showing the bonding layer processing and back coating processing according to the present invention.[0015]
- Referring to FIG. 1, a[0016]
textile fabric 1 is shown comprising a fabric base layer and aback coating layer 30. - The[0017]
fabric base layer 10 is made from nylon or polyester, having afront side 102 and aback side 104. - A[0018]
bonding layer 20 may be selectively provided between thefabric base layer 10 and theback coating layer 30. Thebonding layer 20 has afirst side 202 and asecond side 204. Thefirst side 202 is bonded to theback side 104 of thefabric base layer 10. Thebonding layer 20 may be prepared by means of one of various known processing methods and subject to one of various known formulas. Preferably, thebonding layer 20 is prepared from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), viscosity index improver, additives, and toluene. - The[0019]
back coating layer 30 has a bondingside 302 and aback body side 304. If theaforesaid bonding layer 20 is not used, thebonding side 302 is bonded to theback side 104 of thefabric base layer 10. In case theaforesaid bonding layer 20 is used, thebonding side 302 is bonded to thesecond side 204 of thebonding layer 20. The material for theback coating layer 30 is prepared from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PS (polystyrene), EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), processing oil (long chain dihydric alcohols, short chain dihydric alcohols), plastics, and additives subject to a predetermined proportion, and then applied to the fabric base layer10 (or applied to thebonding layer 20 if thebonding layer 20 is used) by means of any of a variety of processing methods (this will be described further). - When using the[0020]
textile fabric 1 to make luggage, bags, shoes, etc., thefront side 102 of thefabric base layer 10 or theback body side 304 of theback coating layer 30 can be exposed to the outside. - Referring to FIG. 2, the fabrication of the[0021]
textile fabric 1 includes the steps of material preparation, bonding layer processing, back coating processing, bonding and embossing, and finished product roll-up. The steps of material preparation, bonding and embossing, and finished product roll-up are similar to the conventional textile fabric fabrication methods. The steps of bonding layer processing and back coating processing are outlined hereinafter. - As shown in FIG. 3A, a continuous sheet of fabric[0022]401 (i.e., the aforesaid fabric base layer) is delivered over
applicator wheels 402 that apply abonding agent 403 to one side of thefabric 401, and at thesame time scrappers 402aremoveexcessive bonding agent 403 from the periphery of theapplicator wheels 402. The bonding agent coatedfabric 401 is then delivered through abaking oven 404 and dried, and then the well dried bonding agent coatedfabric 401 is rolled up for further use. Thebonding agent 403 is obtained from a mixture containing PMMA, viscosity index improver (0˜120HPR), additives (0˜20PHR), and toluene (100˜500PHR). - Thereafter, prepare a[0023]
back coating material 405 containing TPU, PS, EVA (100PHR), processing oil (0˜120PHR), plastics (0˜100PHR), and additives (0˜20PHR). The preparedback coating material 405 is mixed by a screw and then melted (melting index over 3 g/min), and then rolled by a set ofhot rollers 406 into a sheet ofback coating 407 at temperature within about 90˜160° C., as shown in FIG. 3B, and then the sheet ofback coating 407 and thebonding agent 403coated fabric 401, which is preheated, are bonded together through a set ofimpression rollers 408, and then the textile fabric thus obtained is delivered through a set of coolingrollers 409 and cooled down. The surface of the back coating layer, i.e. theback coating 407, is embossed when it passes through the impression rollers. - While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.[0024]
